Terrible place to live. Police there all the time. Screaming at 2 AM in the courtyards, the smell of marijuana everywhere, and complaining does no good because they just don't do anything. The maintenance people are not trained appropriately and the office staff is rude, whenever you go to the office to ask a question they talk to you like their doing you a favor. I had to deal with and air conditioner problem for two seasons in a row. The unit was leaking freeon obviously because they kept recharging it and the problem would go away, but my apartment was constantly hot and muggy because they would never come the day called even though that is considered a maintenance emergency as a resullt but worst of all is if they are recharging the a/c unit that means there is a leak of freeon that I am breathing in, I asked them to replace the unit and their response is that it was to expensive. They also have a deal with the cable company (AT&T) to were you can only have AT&T and no one else so you are stuck paying high prices for terrible service and when there was a problem they point fingers at one another. I used to work remotely from my apartment for my company. My ability to make a living depended on my internet connection and they just couldn't fix it and were blaming each other on who should be responsible for fixing the problem AT&T or Rivers Edge, finally I just said the hell with it and got a hot spot from Verizon. Also they take a pet deposit of $250.00 plus charge you $25 a month to have a pet then when you move out the pet fee is non refundable and if the pet caused any damage lets say to the carpet in my case, they don't take it out of the pet fee but out of the security deposit. Then on move out they nickle and dime you on every little piece of damage including any wholes from hanging pictures. This is by far the absolute worst management company/apartment complex I have ever lived in and dealt with. We ended up going to small claims court and they ended up on charging us half of what they originally attempted to charge us. The amount was ridiculous and it seemed like they expected to do an entire remodel including replace the appliances at our expense. They are in my experience plain and simple thieves and that's how they stay in business. • • •

The worst place to live, management company Edward rose and son's is the worst management company I ever dealt with. Rude, obnoxious, dont care about tenants but very much care about the money. Rip off. My parents used to live in Country Court apartments in Southfield and moved to another apartment complex that did not belong to Edward rose & sons. I would never advise anybody to rent from them!!!

Thank you for the review. The appropriate departments have been notified of any complaints. Please be aware that Country Court apartments are not owned or managed by Edward Rose & Sons.

Horrible place to live with a horrible staff. Find a place on craigslist; it will be much better than this.

Very bad , very bad place to live........ this place is f***ing ripoff...... No lights in rooms.... The woods in the closets and bathrooms are low quality.... The door came off within a week because of the low quality bolts and they blamed us n made us pay for it...... The glass of oven was already broken and again they blamed us saying we knocked it down while moving in..... A**holes!!!!! We never made any loud noise but we got a warning not to make loud noise.... Wtf!!!!! the neighborhood is like living under nazis and spies supervision..... Sneaky people.... Not a good place to live in.... A little cheaper than others but when u move out they will send you a bill of f***ing thousands of dollars which they will say you could pay in installments in monthly basis.... • • •

(UPDATE): [Rivers Edge Manager Nicole took care of this situation after placing a refreshing phone call to me on April 15th. Now rating them four stars.] To be honest, these apartments offered a great rate and are conveniently located near many businesses. I had amazing neighbors and good maintenance staff. Overall, it felt like a family based on my buildings residents. Now, the moving in experience is simple. Make sure you mark every little detail about damage down because they will charge you. I transferred from these Waterford apartments to the Lake Orion apartments. Upon moving out, I had to pay $497.35 for candle wax that spilled on the carpet along with scratches on the kitchen counter from a pizza cutter. A month has passed since moving and now I get a bill for over $200.00. After you move, they can assess more damage costs. Indeed this is a business, but I feel as if upper management does not care for kind renters such as myself. My goal is to respect Edward Rose's property. If they didn't pursue an additional $200.00+ after robbing me of my whole deposit (which I couldn't use since it was a transfer) I'd rate them three stars. Learn from my story fellow renters and always take care of your place with good detail on your damage report upon move in. Otherwise, save up at least a thousand dollars for damage expenses upon moving out.
Cheers,
Repeat business for Edward Rose • • •

It is the worst place I have ever lived. Very cheap units, you can hear everything from other apartments. I could not get anybody ac unit clean. Black nasty stuff comes out of it every time I turn it on.
The main problem is noise. Management exists in some kind of nirvana, they do not want to do anything about noise. They cover themselves up with stupid "proof" of evidence. As if when there is some noise, you call to emergency ( which is almost never replies) , and emergency is supposed to get violation signed. Emergency man either does not come at all or never detects any noise. Very strange , as if they are all with hearing problem. That is very ridiculous. The management does not know how to write letters just to inform and remind residents not to make noise and ct.
It is a VERY HORRIBLE PLACE, RUN FROM HERE!!!
